Education second

Kudos once again to The Star-Ledger for informing the public about what really goes on in our state. Your reports describing the fiasco in the Rutgers athletic department and the school administration's non-accountability and total disregard for the meaning of education are appreciated and do us all a service. The budget for academic programs was being slashed while the pot of gold in the athletic department was overflowing.

With food pantries running out of food and people losing their homes, that Rutgers is spending an obscene amount of money on athletics is pathetic. Rather than being in the business of building football stadiums, the school administration ought to re-evaluate its priorities and spend time figuring out how best to educate students.
